Need some input from the fandom here. A few years ago I was forced to sell all my collection due to a nasty divorce and finally am set well back up on my feet again and my new wife wants to get me a special birthday present. I'm torn between telling her one or the other even though I know I'll get both eventually. Is it likely city commander will ever get another release from FP? If so I'll have her get protector. If not, I'll probably bite the bullet and pay eBay prices for city commander. What dp you all think? What would you do? I appreciate any input

city commander has already been reissued once, i kinda doubt it will get another run, if it does, it won't be for a while. protector, you're going to want to get it soon anyways because it's still in stock and hasn't gone up in price, you decide from there

Yeah, while I highly doubt FP will reissue City Commander again, if you are patient, you might be able to wait and see if you can get one for a good deal. Maybe even from a fan on this site. I would go ahead and get the Protector armor (with Sidearm) before it skyrockets. Its a fantastic set

you see....... I dont know why ppl fear the CC KO. Fansproject are great obviously and I love the CC set but I only just started collecting in Nov 2010 and i missed out on getting CC at release cost. I would gladly pay origional cost for an authentic set but thats just not an option available these days. So given the choice between a $50 KO and a $250 authentic im gonna have to go with the KO..... it has a few very minor problems but the authentic isnt 5 times better.

and yes OP..... for the love of all that is good get Protector while its still instock... also head on over to robotkingdom.com and get the fansproject G3 trailer, on special for $49 till end of jan. The G3 trailer is great but a little less "omg! must have!" but when its 35-40% off its amazing.

I think you can ignore the situation behind the purchase- one item will be an after market bid war, one is readily available at retail for a relatively fixed price. I would always get the retail item first before it sells out and the price goes up. The price on CC isn't likely to spike up soon so go for Protector.

I have pre-ordered next go round if bruticus upgrades from a site sponsor so I'm set there. I'll have to have the wife order the protector and I'll find CC on the auction site. I appreciate the input from everyone. Do any of you have the BTS trailer or the G3? I like the look of the BTS trailer a lot but was curious if anyone has compared them or what their thoughts were
